I wonder how many fuel tanks and how many gallons total? It said saddle tanks but not how many. Its got to be every bit of 300 gallons or more.

So could this boat run home on plane with 3 engines or even 2 engines? One spinning each wheel or are the wheels too big?

Quad Outerlimits at different ends of the spectrum.

So many stories surrounding this boat when it sank back in 1999, and none of them were pleasant to hear. That goes with regards to both the disappointing performance by her and the business dealings involved. Never thought I'd see her float again. Hope she doesn't happen to become an insurance claim in the near future. The quad modded diesel Outerlimits Carbon SV-52 FPT/(Volvo Penta), on the other hand, has always been surrounded by positive accomplishments. Right now she's being perfected by the best diesel wizards there are in the biz, and will be something very unique. I can't wait 'till she flies at 120 mph plus in honor of the late Fabio Buzzi.

Sorry I fail to see the similarities between those two boats

Definitely a cool piece whether it has "history" or not. There is very little information around about it though.
I was hoping to hear about a disengagement mechanism/clutch system so it could run on 2 engines. |

Id think the gear drive that connects the drive shafts to the prop shaft is direct drive ?? :readinghelp: when one of the trans are put in gear the prop is turning, front or rear engines, its a heavy beast and needs all 4k HP to get it on.......:boat:

Not some kind of over running clutch like on a tractor pto

"Good job stealing the thread! That’s an apples to oranges comparison of boats."
Bostonirish ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I sincerely apologize. Had zero intention of stealing a thread. My contribution was only with the intention of showing the two so different approaches to choosing a design for the rigging and driveline choices when it came to these two impressive Outerlimits of this magnitude. I, therefore, decided on the title; " Quad Outerlimits at different ends of the spectrum." That the 47' Outerlimits '4 Of A Kind', of this thread, originally had wonderful Keith Eickert mills, downboxes and ASD10s sure made everybody take notice more than 20 years ago, and IT IS still a very interesting boat. I look forward to following the fortunate owner's endeavors to make her run great this time around. My sarcastic comments surrounding her previous unfortunate turn of events with regards to biz $$$ is better forgotten by now. Subscribing to this thread and again I'm sorry if I unintentionally disrupted this thread about this unique 47 Stiletto, that most offshore boaters would love to call their own. Lars |

If you look at post #60 each engine has a transmission and it is a direct drive after that .

No both are velvet drive type transmissions , But the owner is talking about putting a shiftable crash transmissions back in there To maybe lesson some of the transmission problems the boat has had .
|
I like the way American ethanol did it. But I’m kinda struggling with understanding what kind of forces the rear engines crankshaft sees in that setup. |
